Hyperbolic grid generation with BEM source terms

A method is presented for the generation of 0-type grids about transverse cross-sections of transport type aircraft. The method combines a hyperbolic grid generation scheme with source terms obtained with a boundary element method in such a way that 0-type grids around fairly complex shapes with concavities can be generated easily. The...

CAR 88: A method to calculate subsonic and supersonic, steady and unsteady, potential flow about complex configurations

A description is given of the method CAR88 for the calculation of steady and time-linearized unsteady subsonic and supersonic flow about complex 2-D and 3-D configurations. The method belongs to the category of the socalled panel methods. Results of applications in supersonic flow are shown which have been made to a 2-D oscillating flat plate, a...

ARSPNS: a method to calculate steady and unsteady potential flow about fixed and rotating lifting and nonlifting bodies

A new method ARNSPNS is described for the calculation of steady and time-linearized unsteady incompressible potential flow about arbitrary lifting and nonlifting bodies in an arbitrary mean steady flow field, including rotation. The method belongs to the category of the so-called panel methods. Applications have been made to wind turbines...
